I Think

That people blame God to avoid taking responsibility for their role in "the way the world is". It's an excuse. God didn't elect leaders that became evil dictators, God did not opress the poor, or muder children. We did. And as long as we as the human race continue to fail to correct the problems that we alone have caused... It will spiral further and further towards the ultimate destruction of all that is good. Each person can make a difference! I want to leave this world a better place than when I got to it. And I pray that God gives me the courage and strength to do so.

Very well said, my friend. People even blame God for earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, and the like, but God did not create these destructive forces. They were brought here by lucifer (halel). He is the angel who fell.

we are here to experience the opposite in all things, so the Gospel tells us. to do this we must experience adversity.<br /><br />how can we know happiness if we don't know sadness or pain. we can only experience that here on earth.<br /><br />God steps aside so that we can experience these things for our growth.<br /><br />don't think it is easy on him, no, like a parent it *kills* him to see us suffer, the way it does us to see our kids make mistakes.<br /><br />but he loves us enough to allow it for only as long as it takes for us to "get it"<br /><br />that's why some people go *home* early and the rest of us have to stick around longer until we "get it".

I do believe that there is an omnipotent universal force, maybe not "God", but some type of force. But the truth is, whether there is a God or not, It is not responsible for us.
It doesn't have to do anything for us. It never has, and it never will. We as humans are responsible...
